Abstract
Embodiments are provided for facilitating playback of media content on a webpage by a playback zone in a media playback system. Upon, or subsequent to opening a web-browsing interface, one or more playback zones of a media playback system may be identified, and links to a playable media item may be identified on a webpage to be displayed by the web-browsing interface. The webpage may then be modified such that a representation associated with the link may be selected to prompt a display of the one or more identified playback zones. A selection of one of the one or more identified playback zones may then cause the media item to be played in the selected playback zone.
